>No, the world and our civilization can support multiples of the population it has according to the statistics. Maybe if we return to -10,000 lifestyles. No drugs, no technology, no fuel. The resources needed to support a given lifestyle multiplied by the population cannot exceed what the planet can provide and accept without being wrecked. The higher the population the more basic the lifestyle each of them can have. You simply cannot have 20 billion people living like 21st century Americans. There's not enough resources to go around.
